I agree with Aaron. It doesn't take a lot of talent to maintain a civil
manner. Anyone and most everyone does. If a person can't do that then maybe
he needs to think about it and how others feel. It may be a character
building experience. Factoid...One of the things which separate us from
animals is our abality to see things from anothers point of view. You may
not agree but you need to see the other point of view. Without that, laws,
lists, monopolies, and the rest have no meaning.

Palm runs this mailing list service - they should have the
right to moderate it to prevent a user of the service from
being abusive/offensive to the other users.
lets not get into "Microsoft" law suits here :))

Palm did not wish to ban anyone, however under the statements
provided by many users on the list - and some discussions
from users with Michael to "relax" his offensiveness were
ignored. there was no choice.
i believe that with an apology, Michael Sokolov may be rejoined
with this list. i dont mind people expressing their opinion,
but at the expense of harming other users on the list - it is
not to be tolertated.
this is my opinion, and it may differ from Palm's. however it
is a "reasonable" solution to this. i would welcome Michael
back to the mailing list, under the condition what happened
before does not happen again :)
we all loose it at some time :P
cheers.
az,
